About 400 Israelis have also been killed in the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Since 7 October, sperm has been retrieved from nearly 170 young men &#8211; both civilians and soldiers &#8211; according to the Israeli health ministry. It is roughly 15 times the figure for the same period in previous years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The process involves making an incision in the testicle and removing a small piece of tissue, from which live sperm cells can then be isolated in a lab and frozen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Success rates for retrieving the cells are highest if it is done within 24 hours of death, though they can live for up to 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In October, the Israeli health ministry waived a requirement for parents to obtain a court order to request the procedure. The IDF says it has become more proactive in offering it to bereaved parents in recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But while it has become easier to have sperm frozen, widows or parents who want to use it in the conception of a child have to demonstrate in court that the dead man wanted to have children. The process can take years, particularly for bereaved parents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c978m6pl99go\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family is among a growing number who have frozen sperm since the 7 October Hamas&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42118,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[784,295,1919,1920,704,1922,1923,1921],"class_list":["post-42115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories","tag-dead","tag-israeli","tag-parents","tag-retrieving","tag-rise","tag-soldier","tag-sons","tag-sperm"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v28.5) -
